any compatibility opinions on Nuforce amps with No

I have owned both Nordost and Nuforce and doubt the combo would be ideal. When I had the Nordost cables I was always saying to myself 'wow these cables don't put a foot wrong'. But I also found that I became less interested in my system and in music while I had them. It was like something was missing. I have almost a similar reaction to the Nuforce, but much much less so. I am using Jena Symphony cables with the Nuforce and this combo works well. I feel the Nuforce with Nordost would not be bright, but would just be a bit emotionally lacking. I agree however that the right source or preamp might arrest the situation. But I think you get my meaning.

Jp1208, I am waiting for my amps back from David. The P8 is really nice. I don't quite know how to describe its sound but whenever a recording has real ambient information I find I am in that space, like never before. It is a huge bargain.

David provided me with upgraded Ref 9.02, and they are only just starting to sound nice after some horrible sound during the burn in process. I plan to compare then with an unmodded pair soon. I haven't done the P8 but it is next on my list.

Jp. The amps are still burning in but I have tried some almost identically designed copper ICs and silver ICs and the silver ICs do appear to be superior with these amps. There are differences that are just differences, but the extra expressiveness in the mids with the silver ICs is very noticeable.
